San Pedro’s part in the 1942 ‘Battle of Los Angeles’

San Pedro’s part in the 1942 ‘Battle of Los Angeles’. February 15, 2012. Gatehouse, where a sentry would have been guarding the entrance to Fort MacArthur when the base was active. There are two gigantic moments in the 70-year history of Fort MacArthur. Two months later, the guns did open fire. In what is sometimes called The Battle of Los Angeles. I didn’t really know much about either of these big events in the history of southern California until I visited the Fort MacArthur Military Museum. But time ...

Dustbowl Jeans – HSF #5 (Peasants and Pioneers). Last week I finished my entry for the Historical Sew Fortnightly #5. 8211; I’m falling further and further behind! Whoops. I’m taking off for the next couple challenges, maybe I’ll catch up then. Or not. 😉 Either way, I’m still glad to be part of this group because it’s helping me focus on certain projects that have been in the works for way too long! Pattern: Wearing History’s Smooth Sailing Trousers. Hours to Complete: Maybe 3 for patterning, 10 for sew...

Curse Words and Crinolines: February 2013
http://cursewordsandcrinolines.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Curse Words and Crinolines. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Two weekends ago Michael and I attended the LA Air Raid. At Fort MacArthur down in Long Beach. The event is a reenactment of the "Air attack" on LA in February of 1943, the attack was actually a false alarm. But the reenactment is a fun mix of WWII militaria and vintage music and dancing. And this last weekend was the perfect weather for it! Sunny and warm, in the 80s warm, and so clear you could see all the way out to Catalina! As a result I didn'...

This is off Santa Fe Ave. This drive goes down into the LA River. It has been in MANY MANY television shows and movies. I have always wanted to go down the river bed. But it's can be really unsafe. I'm going to have to make a plan. ;). Labels: Canon Rebel T3i. I am OBSESSED with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I decided to watch MLP:FiM after I saw a couple of shorts by Lauren Faust.

Monday, March 11, 2013. Regency Reticule - HSF #4 (Embellish). I'm racing to the finish with this challenge, slipping in this blog post at the 11th hour! I'll try to do better with my next one. For the Embellish challenge, I decided to finish an embroidery Regency reticule (drawstring purse) that I started at Costume College 2011. (Soon you'll start noticing a theme with my HSF projects - I'm trying to use as many UnFinished Objects as possible! The Challenge: #4 Embellish - Decorations make the historic...

V is for Vintage: January 2013
http://vforvintageblog.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2013. A "1938" Coat - HSF #2 (UFO). Here's my first entry for the Historical Sew Fortnightly! It's a couple days late and there's no fancy photoshoot because I've got a cold right now. Looking at the challenges, I think I'm going participate in about half of them and turn it into an Historical Sew Monthly - that pace will work better for me and the projects I want to complete. The project stalled out in Fall 2011, with basically only the buttons and hems to go. For this bit, and ev...
